No longer a Dragon Boat paddling rookie
We're all proud of you, Jeremy. But...is that actually a thing?
If you're like me...
Please please tell me I'm not...
...then you have lain awake at night thinking to yourself, "I've never paddled a Dragon Boat. However will I change this status?" Well, I have solved this ages-old dilemma for myself by being on the crew of a Dragon Boat at a paddling festival recently. Yes, these are all things.
So, the deal is, you sit in a long, thin boat which holds around 20 people, there's a person in the back to steer, and a person in the front pounding on a drum to make sure everybody paddles at the same rate. That's about it, unless you get into the specifics, which I don't think I'm going to do here. Up until recently, I had never done any of these things, although I have spent considerable time on various bodies of water in a canoe, but that's beside the point.
What's important to note here is that I am no longer a complete and total n00b at Dragon Boat paddling. I am a barely proficient novice. Go Jeremy!
